This episode starts with a listener trying to solve a very real problem: how to get wheelchair-accessible seating for Rizz Show Night at the Blues game when the normal accessibility option isn't showing up for the theme-night tickets. Instead of letting Zach wander endlessly through ticketing menus designed by somebody who apparently hates convenience, Riz decides to pass the issue along and try to get him some actual help.Then the show turns to a frightening story out of Columbia, Missouri, where a 21-year-old former Mizzou student suffered severe injuries after falling from the rooftop area at Harpo's. The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man's condition, and their own experiences with Columbia's downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare's, old venues and the college-town scene. It's a genuinely awful situation, and everybody's hoping the kid pulls through.But because this is a funny show physically incapable of traveling in a straight line, we eventually get an update on the earlier 49ers prostitution-sting discussion. A listener from Ohio introduces the theory of a possible “Sunday brunch special,” which only creates more questions about how a wealthy NFL owner allegedly winds up at an East Palestine trailer park at 9:30 in the morning. Then comes the important question nobody else is brave enough to investigate: What kind of car are you driving into that situation?And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody's self-esteem.The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds. Get one wrong and you're immediately done. Callers can either take the challenge themselves for two pairs of tickets or put their faith in somebody from The Rizzuto Show and bet on—or against—them.What could possibly go wrong?Everything.Chris steps up first and is immediately asked how many days are in a leap year. His answer? 365. Goodbye, Chris. Thanks for playing.Matt looks unstoppable. Hours in two days? 48. Capital of the United States? Washington, D.C. Sides on a stop sign? Eight. South Pole? Antarctica. He's cruising toward victory until Rafe asks what color you get when you mix red and yellow.Green.Orange. It's orange.Then Tom makes the smartest decision anybody makes during the entire game: bet against Lern. She powers through skin, inches, Mercury, multiplication and Thanksgiving before the trees show up. Pine tree? Deciduous?Evergreen.Congratulations, Tom. You have successfully weaponized our stupidity for free Blues tickets.Mark tries next and comes flying out of the gate powered by Pepsi and Red Bull, which sounds medically questionable but strategically promising. He handles math, directions, colors, decades and elephants before being asked which state is known as the Sunshine State.California.Damn.Then a caller decides to trust Riz. This goes spectacularly well for roughly zero seconds. His first question: how many nickels make $1.25?And thus “25, damn” joins “California, damn” and “deciduous, damn” in the rapidly expanding Simpleton Trivia Hall of Shame.Surely Moon can save the reputation of the funny show, right?A caller puts his faith in Moon because Moon hasn't let him down in five years. Even worse, the caller wants Blues tickets so he can take his daughter to her first Blues game. The emotional stakes are unnecessarily high. Everybody tells him not to tell the kid yet.Moon starts strong. Seven times eight? Sand makes glass? Bald eagle? Caterpillars become butterflies? Springfield?Then Rafe asks how many months have 31 days.Moon says five.It's seven.Somewhere, an imaginary child begins crying in study hall.There's one final shot at redemption when Miranda puts her faith in Moon for AC/DC and Foo Fighters tickets so she can take her nine-year-old son to his first show. Again, everybody immediately makes this far more emotionally devastating than a morning-radio trivia game has any right to be.Moon crushes the equator, 50 states, rubies, multiplication, frogs, Canada, spider legs and photosynthesis.Then comes bread.What's the main ingredient?Yeast? Water?Flour.The game is over, dignity is dead, and Tom—the guy who had the good sense to bet against the show—is basically the only person walking away happy.This funny show has once again proven something important: never underestimate common knowledge, never trust a radio personality with your child's concert dreams, and if you're offered the opportunity to bet against The Rizzuto Show, maybe take it.Deciduous.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Taylor Santa, aka Hamilton, a thru-hiker who completed the Appalachian Trail in 2017 before returning to complete both the Florida Trail and Continental Divide Trail in 2024. In this one, we dive into Hamilton taking shots of pop and energy drinks every two hours on the night shift before quitting her job to hike the AT, surviving 30 miles of chest-deep swamp walking on the Florida Trail, getting bitten in the face by a fake service dog at a Chama bar, her sudden, blister-inducing allergy to Leukotape, a near-miss lightning strike that instantly killed a cluster of cows right in front of her group in Idaho, a wild night in Dubois that involved $3 VFW craft beers and charm-talking a cowboy out of his hat, and the secret to reading over 100 books in a single year. We wrap the show with a guide to dealing with wildfire smoke on trail, picking the ultimate torture song to play on repeat for your mortal enemy, a Triple Crown of cliche Instagram captions, how I used my kids to escape a ticket, and a mailbag praising the forgotten greatness of Nerds Ropes.

Nobody skips reading a contract because they're careless. Contract attorney Leo Mann spent 30 years writing the fine print that governs leases, car loans, job offers, and gym memberships, and he says the reason smart people sign blind isn't laziness at all. It's four specific psychological pressures, engineered on purpose, stacked on top of each other in the exact moment you're handed the paperwork. Today he walks through exactly how those tricks work, and more importantly, how to spot them before you sign away something you'll regret.What You'll Walk Away WithThe four psychological traps, stacked together on purpose, that get otherwise careful people to sign without readingWhy the phrase "this is standard" should be one of the biggest red flags in any negotiationA green flag, yellow flag, red flag rundown of common contract moments, from blank spaces to rush deadlines to page-by-page initialsThe hidden clause in shared leases that can leave one person legally responsible for an entire group's unpaid rentWhy the number on the front page of a lease or job offer is often just marketing, and where the real total actually livesThe critical difference between an employment offer letter and the actual employment agreement, and why only one of them is legally bindingWhy severance is almost always more negotiable than employers make it seem, and the two questions worth asking about any financial product before you commitWhy This Matters NowEvery adult signs dozens of contracts over a lifetime, apartment leases, car loans, job offers, gym memberships, and the fine print in most of them is written to be skimmed, not read. That's not an accident, and it's not really about intelligence or diligence either. It's about recognizing the exact moments you're being nudged to move fast, and knowing which few sentences in a stack of paperwork actually matter. A little contract literacy doesn't just protect your money, it gives you real leverage the next time someone slides a stack of paper across the table and says, "just sign here."From the BasementA headline about Pepsi's infamous 1996 fighter jet promotion becomes the day's trivia detour, proving that even the biggest brands occasionally get burned by their own fine print, right alongside the rest of us.Resources MentionedDon't Sign That by Leo Mann — Leo's #1 bestselling guide to consumer contractsThe Contract Literacy Movement — Leo's initiative teaching everyday people to read what they signStacking Benjamins Field Kit — the all-in-one budgeting, credit monitoring, and financial tracking toolStacko Financial Action Month board — the interactive game with a money move for each squareSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you're a college student getting ready for recruiting season—or the parent of one—this episode could not come at a better time.Deborah Klein Glasser knows the job search from both sides. After Cornell, she built a career in marketing and consulting at companies including Pepsi, Colgate, PwC and Starwood Hotels, earned her MBA from Wharton, and today, as the founder of Pathfinder Consulting, helps college students and young professionals figure out what they want, tell their story and stand out in a very competitive job market.We talk about what actually makes a candidate memorable, how to use the Cornell alumni network without sounding transactional, why networking can feel a lot like dating, and how to answer that dreaded interview question: “What's your biggest weakness?”Deborah also tells us whether an Ivy League degree really gives you an advantage, what to do after an interview, how persistent is too persistent, and why parents need to know when to help—and when to step away.And somehow a serious conversation about interviewing leads to Michelle's disastrous typing test, Deb's cheap green interview suit and Steph nearly losing circulation in her leg during a law school interview.Whether you're looking for an internship, preparing for on-campus recruiting, starting your first job search—or trying to help someone who is—Deborah's advice makes the whole process feel a little less intimidating and a lot more manageable. She's warm, smart and FUN!You can find out more about her company here: https://www.pathfindercareerconsulting.com/And you can reach out to her on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahglasser/Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University
Working around the clock and still can't shake the feeling that something's not sustainable—that's exactly where Mark finds himself. Preston sits down again with Kevin Rice, who turned a garage side project into a nine-figure agency exit, to unpack how he knew it was time to stop grinding solo and start building a team. From outsourcing your first project to walking away from clients like Pepsi, this episode is a real look at the risk, discipline, and timing behind turning freelance income into an actual company.

From a purple dragon born out of a Kodak sponsorship to the world's most popular tortilla chip — sometimes the best Disney magic happens when nobody planned it…..and a little Corporate Sponsorship Synergy! In this video, we're looking at four accidental icons that only exist because a corporation made a deal with Disney: Figment, Orange Bird, Dole Whip, and Doritos. All started as products of a Disney Parks sponsorship. All ended up way bigger than the contracts that created them. Kodak, the company that helped us get Figment, was one of Disneyland's Original 33 sponsors — the companies that made the park possible in 1955. I'm launching a Patreon-exclusive series called Club 33 that digs into every single one of them. If you want to go deeper on the corporate histories that built Disneyland.

Join host Justin Forman for a candid conversation with Stephen Ellsworth, co-founder of Poppi, the prebiotic soda brand that went from a Dallas farmers market stand to one of the largest exits in beverage history when PepsiCo acquired it for $2 billion. Stephen walks through the pivotal decisions that shaped Poppi's rise — rewriting the formula a week before Shark Tank, the branding fight that determined whether Poppi would be sold as a health product or a soda, and the negotiating table where his team turned down a $1 billion offer because it “didn't feel right.” But the most striking part of Stephen's story isn't the exit — it's what came after. He opens up about the identity crisis, isolation, and unexpected grief that followed closing the deal, and how wrestling with purpose in the months afterward reshaped his understanding of calling, generosity, and what he calls this next season: not retirement, but “preferment.” Throughout, Stephen traces how his faith — dormant since he was a teenager — was reawakened through the entrepreneurial journey itself, from a providential tax refund that arrived the week his mortgage was due, to the conviction that let him walk away from billion-dollar offers that didn't align with what he and his team believed was right. Key Topics: • From a Wyoming kitchen to Shark Tank to a $2 billion PepsiCo acquisition • The branding pivot that turned an apple cider vinegar tonic into a prebiotic soda • Why Stephen's team walked away from a $1 billion Pepsi offer and a $1.65 billion Keurig Dr Pepper offer • The unexpected identity crisis and isolation that followed the exit • Moving from a Mormon upbringing to a faith renewed through entrepreneurship • Setting up a Donor Advised Fund and learning to give with the same rigor used to build a business Notable Quotes: “Sitting where we are now, a $2 billion exit from a farmers market stand is just wild.” - Stephen Ellsworth “Pepsi is a huge system. If you're gonna buy us, buy us.” - Stephen Ellsworth “The idea of coming to know God more fully through [the entrepreneurial journey] is one of the greatest side benefits of the whole equation.” - Justin Forman

What if the follower count everyone said mattered… doesn't?This week I sit down with Amber Mayfield Hewett — event producer, founder of To Be Hosted, author of Your Turn to Host, Forbes 30 Under 30, and the woman behind the New York Times–covered Central Park picnic 'To Celebrate Black Life and Leisure.' At 33, Amber is the youngest guest we've ever had on Meanwhile, She, and she's built a seven-figure event production business with clients like Pinterest, Spotify, Peloton, and Pepsi — all while barely touching Instagram.We get into her non-linear path from the NBCUniversal Page Program to shooting Snapchat content for the Real Housewives at Bravo to producing $200K+ dinner parties, the Six-Figure Rule she gave her team about when she'll start posting on social, why she calls laughter "an underrated KPI," the truth about being married and refusing to be defined by it, what watching B. Smith taught her about what her career could be, why "on time is late" and she's fired people over it, and what it actually feels like to have accomplished this much this early.

In this episode, I'll break down whether Pepsi's 4+% yield, improving dividend coverage, and 54-year dividend growth streak make the stock a buy today, or whether slowing growth, weak North American volume, and more than $50 billion in debt are warning signs investors shouldn't ignore.

Consumer expectations are changing fast, and brands of every size are being forced to adapt. In this episode, we discuss what PepsiCo's response to GLP-1s and inflation signals for CPG. We also dive into Vita Coco's acquisition of a super-premium rival, and sample everything from cereal-inspired protein shakes and date-sweetened cola to birch water and caffeinated banana milk. Show notes: 0:20: Chi, Summer. Is Ce Real? Pep Rally. Coco + Copra. Date Drink. The Two a Yous. It's French. — Ray and Melissa lament how quickly summer is slipping away, but they're looking ahead to Taste Radio's upcoming meetup in Chicago. Meanwhile, Mike is mixing up an unconventional concoction he swears will improve his physique. Melissa then leads a conversation about PepsiCo's response to GLP-1 adoption and persistent inflation, prompting a discussion about how major CPG companies are balancing lower prices on core products with innovation in premium and functional offerings—a dynamic that's creating both headwinds and opportunities for emerging brands. The hosts also examine Vita Coco's acquisition of premium coconut water brand Copra, viewing it as a strategic move to expand across multiple price tiers and compete more directly with Harmless Harvest. Ray samples Unpop's date-sweetened cola and highlights Tuyyo agua fresca hydration sticks, NYMBL high-protein ice cream, and OOZ birch water, while Melissa gives high marks to Halfday iced tea and Matcha DNA's powdered matcha lattes.

The Cold War wasn't fought only with missiles.It was also fought with supermarkets, television cameras, vodka, and a simple paper cup filled with Pepsi.This month, Tracing The Path follows the surprising chain of events that led an American soft drink behind the Iron Curtain—and a Russian vodka into American liquor stores.Along the way you'll discover the forgotten friendship between Russia and the United States, the invention of videotape by Ampex, the famous Kitchen Debate between Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev, the 1959 American National Exhibition in Moscow, and the remarkable business deal that briefly made Pepsi the owner of the world's seventh-largest navy.It's the story of how commerce, technology, and ordinary consumer products accomplished what politics often could not.And why, decades later, Vladimir Putin chose to reverse nearly all of it.
In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down Alphabet’s latest earnings and why investors are questioning the massive AI capex spending despite strong growth in Google Cloud.

Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents & A Podcast — it's FRIDAY (and yes, as promised, Harrison has brought his Friday energy!!!). For our listeners who like a parent-heavy episode more than Harrison — this one is for you!! (lol) OK so - did you know 90% of your adult brain develops between 0 & 5?! WE DIDN'T! So we dug into a few child development topics on this episode: First… your toddler saying "um" isn't rude (side note: is it rude for adults to say um?!), it's actually an important development milestone. Other interesting things: babies who swim actually DEVELOP FASTER (better coordination, balance & body control, and they walk faster too!) and why kids in the 0-5 range absorb language SO much easier than we do as adults (it's a brain state thing called theta and it's genuinely fascinating). Since that was “too much parenting talk” for Harrison, we did one of our date night check-ins live on the pod (ok guys, this is Jules now — would you imagine their date night convo has much to do with kids?? and when they said "kids aside," the updates also primarily revolved around parenting LOL. But no, we get a really good Flock update and a feeding journey update from Alex in this section). Other stuff: West & Jesse are friends again?, PSA on why you should never put your kid in a blue bathing suit (safety!!), Siete is (kind of) changing their ingredients after being acquired by Pepsi, there's a LIZARD in our house, and Harrison is still on that book club is just girls night in disguise. OH and Ginny made her pod debut!! LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:22 SKIP IF YOU HATE FUN: West soft launches friendship with Jesse 00:05:28 The “WOW, that was louder than I thought” neighbor gift 00:08:25 Why are “dad injuries” so embarrassing?! 00:11:05 Toddlers saying "um" is a developmental milestone?! 00:18:20 PSA: NEVER put your kid in a blue bathing suit 00:19:00 Babies who swim actually DEVELOP FASTER (new study!) 00:20:05 90% of your adult brain develops between 0 & 5 00:23:34 Being away from your kids for even ONE night feels like too much 00:25:09 The viral "normalize telling your kid they're not special" video debate 00:31:40 Siete was bought by PEPSI (& the misleading headline about their ingredients!) 00:38:23 UNHINGED mom hacks: tooth quality tooth fairy, a wig for hair-holding & more 00:43:15 Harrison still wants everyone to know that book club in girls night in disguise 00:49:00 MID-EPISODE CHECK IN: health, work, friends, postpartum & more 01:03:30 We had a LIZARD in our house last night?! 01:04:28 ”Minnesota nice" is a real thing?! 01:06:45 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Ollie: Ollie.

With Special Guest: Ethan Lawrence He's back again, the cheeky chap who likes to take time out from his telly shows to join Cheapshow for more cheap thrills! Paul & Eli are joined by actor Ethan Lawrence (Horrible Histories) for a good, old fashioned edition on the economy comedy podcast. Thankfully, he's also curated his own Price of Shite for the hosts to battle over. He's got five charity shop items and ready to hand out p'twings! And oh boy howdy, has Ethan bought some crap for Paul & Eli to price up. Elsewhere in the podcast, it's time to warm up your taste buds as the terrible trio taste a range of “crispy chicken skins” and a Pepsi drink that is PACKED with caffeine. However, what with Ethan being in charge for a good chunk of this episode, this allows for a bit more argy-bargy between the two main hosts. When Paul doesn't like what he hears, he's going to start editing this episode more severely! What a child!

Spencer and Kevin are back with a "political roundtable" that spirals almost immediately, featuring special guests Brentz Platner(?), a beeping Mitch McConnell(??), and the late Lindsey Graham(???), channeled via Baba Yaga because Spencer can't do the voice. From there we cover McConnell's mysterious health saga, Maine's messiest Senate race gossip, and why AI-generated food photos on delivery apps look like they're covered in acne. Of course, no episode is complete without a soda taste test: this time it's the return of Mountain Dew Supernova, plus a deep dive into the forgotten history of Mountain Dew's "Dew-mocracy" flavor elections (RIP Revolution and Typhoon, we hardly knew ye). We also get sidetracked into biohacker Bryan Johnson's autoimmune disease, gold-injecting influencers who think ancient alchemists cracked immortality, a surprisingly heady tangent on Greek "genius" vs. Roman "daemon" concepts and narcissism, and the great Wild Cherry Pepsi tweet discourse of the week (is "permission" now a slur, or did everyone just have assault on the brain because of the news cycle?). We close things out with a weird dive into the data center water usage panic, with Kevin bringing actual industry insight on cooling systems, UV filtration, and why the viral "cyclospora outbreak caused by data centers" theory doesn't quite hold water (pun intended). Politics, parasites, Pepsi discourse, and a vintage computer terminal cameo is just another That Happens for us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim explores why conflict isn't something that exists "out there" in the world, but is instead created the moment a person takes a side. He argues that all division — political, religious, personal — is a product of the human ego identifying with a single, limited interpretation of reality, and that true peace only returns when a person stops defending a position and remembers themselves as consciousness rather than the body or the belief. Jim illustrates this with a personal story about getting scammed by a fake towing company, his upbringing around fundamentalist preachers in Texas, and a Coca-Cola versus Pepsi metaphor he uses to describe "mastering neutrality." He also examines how this same dynamic shows up in parenting, where trying to control or judge a adult child's choices is really just another form of taking sides. This episode offers listeners a practical way to recognize when they've fallen into righteousness or division — and how to return to peace instead. What You'll Discover in This Episode: (00:00) Where conflict actually comes from — Jim explains that disharmony isn't a lack of peace in the world; it exists because people don't know themselves as source rather than ego. (07:38) Why institutions divide — Jim points to preachers, politicians, money, and religion as forces that split humanity by disguising ego and dogma as morality. (11:02) The Coke and Pepsi metaphor — Jim introduces "mastering neutrality," showing that both sides of any argument are simply two versions of the same illusion. (13:53) Whatever you fight weakens you — Using a Mother Teresa quote and Wayne Dyer's tree metaphor, Jim reveals how opposing anything grants it power and traps a person in conflict. (20:00) Why the "correct side" winning never brings peace — Jim challenges the belief that healing the world means making one side win, and reframes what true unity requires. (27:45) Peace as a realization, not a result — Jim closes with the truth that divine mind has never been divided or taken a side, and neither should the listener. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Every time a person declares one side right and the other wrong, they step out of consciousness and into the ego's illusion of division. Peace was never meant to come from winning an argument or fixing the world outside — it comes from remembering that the listener, at their core, is the same undivided source as everyone they're tempted to oppose. Letting go of the need to be right isn't weakness; it's the doorway back to harmony. Let's Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?
